Whether you lead a fully plant-based lifestyle or prefer an adaptable ‘flexi-tarian’ approach, you might be interested to know that not all makeup products are vegan. It’s common to find beeswax in lipsticks or lanolin in cream blushers and bronzers – so if this bothers you, remember to check the ingredients lists whilst you’re htting ‘add to bag’.
The good news is that there are plenty of brilliant vegan makeup products out there which do as good a job as their non-vegan counterparts. When it comes to foundation shopping in 2022, the world is your vegan oyster and don’t forget, if you’re also looking for plant based ways to take your makeup off at the end of the day, our vegan skincare routine has you covered.
